Do I want a fixer-upper (force appreciation through renovations) or turn-key?

For those looking to buy, having cash on hand can be a game-changer, giving you the upper hand in negotiations and helping you secure the property of your dreams.Sellers, take note: the percentage of the original list price received stands at 94%, a slight dip from last year's 95%.

I have a tenant moving out of an upper unit and a new one moving in shortly.

You buy a Rental, fixer-upper while you wait and when you Sell you move into your Rental as your new Home.

*Be present or have someone take photos while cabinets are being installed, this saved me from buying an extra lower and upper cabinet as they weren't needed.

A handy search bar in the upper right makes it easy to find previous discussions, blogs, podcasts, and other resources.

I don't really think you have a leg to stand on here.An inspector's job is to look over the entire home and make note of things that may be a hazard, structurally unsound or become an issue.Asbestos?

Or keep the uppers and lowers the same and contrast the island color. 

The title was "Investing in fixer-uppers".  

I don’t want to put the money in to rehabbing it for sale as it would pretty much be a wash if I just sold it as is in the current condition as a fixer upper.
